Phantom Thread, Daniel Day-Lewis’s Last Movie, Now Has a Trailer

In his second intense collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson, there will be sewing.

It is time to get stoked as hell for some mid-20th-century dressmaking, thanks to the combined powers of celebrated director Paul Thomas Anderson and equally renowned actor Daniel Day-Lewis. The actor-director duo famous for There Will Be Blood is teaming up for what may be the last time (Day-Lewis announced over the summer that he's now retired) for a gorgeous-looking period piece about, well, love and madness.

According to the trailer, Day-Lewis plays Reynolds Woodcock, perhaps the most sought-after dressmaker in post-war London's high society—he's kind of like if Supreme made evening gowns in the '50s. So Woodcock, as the premiere name in aristocratic couture, has it pretty good—until he meets Alma (Vicky Krieps) and falls in love with a new muse, and things seem to get intense.

Like all of Paul Thomas Anderson's films, Phantom Thread looks like it takes unexpected subject matter and imbues it with gravity and carefully composed beauty. Anderson never seems to waste a single frame, and the actors he works with understand economy of gesture and movement. Like the dresses Woodcock puts together, the trailer drips with intent down to the very last detail, in what will doubtless make for a mesmerizing film—and perhaps a quiet farewell for Daniel Day-Lewis's nearly 50-year career.
